This is the best video I can find.

Seems like he was coming in from the back side and pulling up and
rolling inverted over the stands and then straight in...

That takes a number of control inputs for a tool jammed in the cables.
Or maybe intermittent and his attention was focused in the cockpit.
Strange.

Checked out one of the TV stations in Vegas and they are intent on the
carnage not the news.


Perhaps an object bouncing around someplace, or a control surface not
working and he's trying to figure out what the @#$% to do to get out of
the situation.

From your description, a jammed aileron plus 'up' from the pilot would
pretty much do it.

Or a seizure, or a heart attack.
